paul 27 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Have a slight scraping noise more noticeable in one direction only also the motor is noisy in same direction might be coincidence as the scraping seems worse over pointwork and curves so i think could be from the bogies / wheels or pick ups any one else had these problems.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted February 15, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15, 2022 How old is the model, in terms of how many hours running? Does it need lubricating in the drivetrain? Mine was secondhand some few years ago, and apart from blowing a cheap decoder (installed before I bought it) has run well, and would pull the side out of a house. But this is Heljan, where glue application on models is strictly limited at the assembly stage, so bits drop off and sag. Check you haven't got one or more separate details dragging.

paul 27 Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Yes mine is the older model purchased second hand cannot see any thing catching they are delicate parts prone to breaking. Edited February 19, 2022 by paul 27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37501 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I would take the body off and check that the motor turns freely by hand and that the drive shafts are secured at both ends. Just fitted sound to my one so had the top off. Drive assembly is relatively easy to get to. Hope this helps John 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
